How have Barca’s attackers performed in front of goal this season? 👀 (A Thread)
🇵🇱 Lewandowski: ⚽️ Goals: : 9
🅰️ Assists: 4 Our top scorer 🥇 Still, he has underperformed. Based on the quality of his chances, he has been expected to score 12 goals. In comparison, someone like Bellingham has scored 17 goals from 9.7 xG.
🇵🇹 Joao Felix: ⚽️ Goals: 6
🅰️ Assists: 3 Joao Felix has scored important goals, but could have scored more (6.4 xG.). He has taken the second most shots out of all our players (47). Overall, he has been solid.
🇪🇸 Ferran Torres: ⚽️ Goals: 6
🅰️ Assists: 2 Per 90 minutes, he averages the most goals (0.53). Lewandowski is close with 0.52. Still, Ferran Torres has outscored his xG (4.1 xG). He is the only attacker with a certain minutes played to do so.
🇧🇷 Raphinha: ⚽️ Goals: 2
🅰️ Assists: 5 What could have been… Raphinha could easily have had 10 G/A in 8.2 full 90 minutes played. He has been our most threatening attacker. 4.4 xG. He arrives well, but struggles to capitalize on chances. All hope is not lost.
🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal: ⚽️ Goals: 1
🅰️ Assists: 2 Should have scored more (3.4 xG), and should have gotten more assists (3.6 expected assists). Given his age, these numbers reflect his tremendous potential.
🇪🇸 Marc Guiu: ⚽️ Goals: 2
🅰️ Assists: 0 The player many believe should start over Lewandowski. 17 years old. Played 47 minutes. An exciting player, but he needs more minutes before we can decide. Impossible to keep on scoring every 20 minutes.
To me, Raphinha is the player I think will improve the most. He generates EXTREMELY much. The Brazilian has the potential to deliver 10+ goals and 10+ assists if he continues the same way.
